This compact tour serves to acquaint you with the island's main points of interest in a short amount of time.

Traveling from the pier, you will enjoy a drive around this delightful island which is also referred to as the perfume island due to the wonderful Ylang-Ylang trees that grow here. The oil from the flowers of the Ylang-Ylang tree are extracted and used in the making of perfumes and lotions. During your tour, a stop will be made at a Ylang-Ylang distillery where you can observe this process in action.

During your tour around the island, you will travel through Hell Ville and also view the island's sugar fields, fruit and spice plantations. A drive up Mont Passot affords you with marvelous views of the twin lakes of Sakatia Island.

Finally, you will make your way back to the port where your tour concludes.
